it's fun the other way round as well. :p when i want to pawn those shafters i get either freeze /firebird and hornet either freeze or cook them to death. The funniest thing happens when i am not killing them , just keeping the freeze effect intact by making short bursts and keep going around them......:p

I big fan tanki.tanki onlain is best <3 ^yu touuuu fyte!

Plz no..... This happens as a cycle privates become gissimos, they create alts and pawn noobs...those noobs then again become gissimos and do the same thing over and over again. What can you do? Try to work your way slowly to the top trying to learn from skilled players either it's their alt or not.

hhhh i guess this is monsttas alt ;) nice name btw :D

like the rail would stand in front of you *with a light hull* till you kill him.....

No, simply no. Experience and rank does play a certain role on a players knowledge on this game. My point here is that lower ranked players should not be allowed to contribute to the guides section with their lack of experience. IMO it will only result in worthless guides like this that doesn't play any role whatsoever in improving players mindset or skills. Let me explain why. 1) Subject matter of this guide is simply worthless.- though it might be of some value to lower ranked players this guide is completely invaluable to medium to high ranked players. I am certainly sure every warrant officer that has played on the map seruphov even for once has an IQ to understand where to camp/snipe on the map. What kevred (no offense intended) has done here is describe those already known stuff using his elaborate vocabulary. You can clearly see the difference between a well written guide with valuable info ( take hogs XP guide for example) and this guide here. The different of knowledge both of those guides individually give us is massive. What do you really expect yourself to do in the future by simply knowing some sniping spots in the map seruphov ( which is not even an official clan war map) + a map that becomes more and more rare in latter ranks? 2) The quality of this guide is really bad - I'm sure you will notice the fact that this guide is not detailed enough even to make it to the guides section. If you don't believe me go have a look at the press archive section. You will see how much time and effort has been spent on each and every single guide there. Following are some of my suggestions to improve the guides section. 1) Only allowed players with recognized skills/knowledge and experience to contribute to the guides section. 2) Ask those reporters to target every bit of the audience from private to gissimo rather than simply targeting a lower ranked audience. 3) Try to inspire the younger ( i.e lower ranked) generation of tankers through the guides section. 4) Try to get skilled/experienced members of the EN community to contribute to the guides section and if they don't have enough writing skills, form a small squad and complete the guide as a team. 5) Try and target the SL and format battles as much as possible. One of the reasons why the EN community has not yet managed to officially get a place in star series (AK were "chosen" on season 1 but they lost it as well) is simply because the lack of knowledge on SL among EN community players. I have no personal vendetta against kevred and I'm extremely sorry if my opinions offended him in any manner. These are just some opinions from an experienced tanker.....

Enough with your pathetic replies already. I see that you have some problems understanding simple logic. Rail/hornet is considered the hardest to master because of many facts including... 1) it requires tons of more situation awareness than other turrets. (simply because it takes 6 secs to reload) 2) Targeting is harder and even harder at long ranges. ( auto aim angle of rail is lower than all of the other med range turrets. 3) Rail is NOT trigger friendly. Even the slightest amount of impact on your tank within the "charging" second will most probably ruin your shot. you can't just say that you have "mastered" railgun. Have you ever wondered why tanki allowed a special format just for xp ? and if railgun is such easily mastered why would tons of people use it ( have a look at the duelist section) to decide the winner of a duel? If you can't use rail hornet well don't blame others for it. Try to play more with it and improve yourself rather than crying at the forum.

I'm a big hater when it comes to shaft... But still can't stop myself from appreciating the time and effort spent on writing this article. Keep it up!

Well said! Looking for more from this series !

This is exactly one of those reasons why you shouldn't have allowed lower ranked members of the community to join the reporter squad. True, they might have writing skills and the vocabulary that is needed to join the squad but they should not have been allowed to contribute to the guides section till they pass a certain rank. IMO this is an entirely worthless guide on a worthless map with entirely worthless info (with the exception for a "very" small no. Of lower ranked players). What we do need however are some more informative and inspiring guides like those written by experienced players like hog. Guides like these will never allow the EN community to dent the already behemoth RU community.

:) apologies accepted. I have seen some of your nice resent replies on different threads ( xp/format battles etc.) keep them coming !

you have mastered railgun eh? I wonder why they even have those StarLadder matches in xp format when even kids like you can "master" the railgun.

lord-of-the-noobs (I'm sorry if i didn't spell snipers correctly) do you have a problem with my reply? I was merely pointing out my opinion that this was an entirely worthless thread....

meh.... What kind of a noob post is this?. ....noobs making noob posts.... Had enough of this already....

plz no lol.... Beating a bunch of unskilled noobs doesn't mean you are pro neither does it show the fact that shaft can be used in DMs . Try using your noob shaft in a higher ranked death match you'll get what I'm saying.

that's better of you. Didn't want you to grow up into one of those big shafting noobs.

no offense...but all those people who over use shaft at lower ranksand continue to overuse it even above the rank major will typically become a bunch of noobs. You will soon understand....and shaft at DMs?? Meh.......

please.... It would have been a lot easier if you told you had 31k mines straightforward -.-

Bye Ruiners!!!! <3 keep crying @canadarules

same here i hate it when those noobs go for those DP drops which they pretty much don't need and can be better used with another player.

Nope

Bye bye xp ruiners... + i think canadarules is rage crying.....:D

plz no..... Shaft is a turret for kids who can't target,who can't move their tank around as much as others.... Simply put together IMHO its a turret made for noobs.

Lewis please grow up from being a noob. How would you think lower rankers like me would keep playing with dumb updates like this? I mean seriously we cant even properly organize clan trainings because private battles are taken away from us. (buying a pro battle pass for 5k is not as easy as it seems in my rank). Idk whether you are one of those attention seekers out there who seek for the attention they don't get in real life over the internet and idc about it but stop just stop flaming this entire thread by going against everyone's views and opinions...

koobi are you by any chance Sri Lankan?
